You need to create a directory, chmod it to 777, and then set the "Safe Mode Upload Directory" option in the control panel to point to that directory. You will need the full directory path to it.

If you don't know what the full path is, go to .../admin/index.php?action=phpinfo and search for "DOCUMENT_ROOT". The value there will be the path on your server yourdomain.com/. You can then set the path to the upload directory based on that.

Done ...

but now whenver i upload anything it gives me this error :
File system directory is not writable.

[Steve Machol]

The problem is most likely the safe mode path you entered. What did you enter for this?

Also, in the Admin CP, open the Server Settings and Optimization Options section and turn on the Public phpinfo() Display Enabled setting. Then provide the URL to your forums. This may help us troubleshoot this problem.

still the same ..

[Steve Machol]

Please provide the safe mode path you entered. I will need this in order to troubleshoot this problem.

/home2/fares166/public_html/uaeforumfiles

[Steve Machol]

Don't put this directory in your public_html folder. Place it in you main login directory and name it 'tmp'. Then chmod this directory to 777 and use this for the safe mode:

/home2/fares166/tmp

Of course, make sure that safe mode in turned on as well.

worked :-)

Thanks alot for your support really appricate it..

the wired things is that i have this in public_html folder for more then a year ...

but coz i just moved the forum to a new server it's not working ..

[ahmedation]

there's some ppl who still gets this error :

File system directory is not writable.

[Steve Machol]

I can't imagine why they would get this. Tell them to empty their browser cache.

[ahmedation]

he registered again in the forum .. now it'[s working fine with him with the new nick not the old one.
